The microtubule cytoskeleton is critical for maintenance of long and long-lived neurons. The overlapping array of microtubules extends from the major site of synthesis in the cell body to the far reaches of axons and dendrites. New materials are transported from the cell body along these neuronal roads by motor proteins, and building blocks and information about the state of affairs in other parts of the cell are returned by motors moving in the opposite direction. As motor proteins walk only in one direction along microtubules, the combination of correct motor and correctly oriented microtubules is essential for moving cargoes in the right direction. In this review, we focus on how microtubule polarity is established and maintained in neurons. At first thought, it seems that figuring out how microtubules are organized in neurons should be simple. After all, microtubules are essentially sticks with a slow-growing minus end and faster-growing plus end, and arranging sticks within the constrained narrow tubes of axons and dendrites should be straightforward. It is therefore quite surprising how many mechanisms contribute to making sure they are arranged in the correct polarity. Some of these mechanisms operate to generate plus-end-out polarity of axons, and others control mixed or minus-end-out dendrites.
